Hybrid human-AI and fully AI-generated works are welcome.

3

Creators must disclose the main AI tools and workflows used.

4

Submitters must hold all necessary rights, permissions and consents for music, images, voices, performances, likenesses, datasets, source material and final screening.

5

Non-English or non-French works should include English or French subtitles.
